24.18
Baoda shortly afterward went forward and entered another hell: the Hell of Plowing Fields. Why is it called the Hell of Plowing Fields? That hell is twenty yojanas in length and breadth, enclosed by iron walls with fierce, relentless blazes; the fire above penetrates below, and the fire below penetrates above, its flames blazing furiously and the smoke and fire burning brightly. At that time, iron knives sprouted from the ground in the hell, their blades pointing upward, fire burning upon the blades to scorch the sinners. The sinners, bewildered and flustered, their spirits fleeing, their souls terrified and tormented in the darkness without awareness, suffered a thousand varieties of sins and myriad billions of agonies. In that hell there were iron oxen plowing the earth, flames erupting on all sides.
